Just then my heart started beating fast again. Nick walked into the kitchen. "Hey," he said with a warm smile. "Hi," I said, staring at him as he turned his back to open the fridge. Oh man, I was talking to him. He said hi to me. Okay, Sarah, calm down, I thought to myself. I tried to calm down and stop shaking. He got a Pepsi and sat down in front of me. He looked so gorgeous. His eyes were looking at me. Nick Carter no knows I exist on this earth, I said to myself. "So, uh, are you new here? BJ has never mentioned you before," he said. "Yeah, today was my first day at the high school," I started fidgeting my feet. I was in heaven. "Where did you move from?" he asked me. "Oh, uh, Nebraska. My dad got a great new job." Just then BJ walked in with a cordless phone. "Thanks," I said. "I need to call my mom and tell her where I am. I think she'll be surprised," I said turning to Nick.
I dialed my new
number with my trembling hands. My mom answered the phone.
< "Cool. So, do you have any brothers or sisters?" Nick asked me.
"Yeah, I have an 11-year-old sister," I replied. I was beginning to
calm down a little.
"Come on Sarah, let's watch some TV," BJ said, grabbing my arm.
"Okay, uh...bye Nick..." I said, shyly.
"See ya, Sarah. I hope to see ya around," he said. I felt a big
rush all over my body. He hoped he would see me again. I repeated his
exact words over and over in my head. I followed her into the family
room. I sat down on the couch.
"Wanna watch a movie?" BJ asked.
"Yeah, sure," I said. She opened a cupboard underneath the TV. I
noticed there was a N-64 system under there. Nick's NINTENDO!!!
"How bout....uh," she said, searching a big stack of movies.
"Doctor Doolittle?"
"Yeah, I've never seen that before. I heard it's pretty funny!"
"Man, I laughed my butt off the first time I saw it! You'll like
it," she said. I couldn't believe it. We were actually getting to KNOW
EACH OTHER.
She started the movie and we ate some popcorn. She was
right-that movie was funny as hell! Right in the middle of the movie,
the front doorbell rang.
"Hold on, I'll be right back," BJ said. She got up and walked down
the hallway. I heard her open the door and let someone in. I heard the
person's voice and IMMEDIATELY recognized it.
"Hey NICK!" BJ yelled. "Brian's here!"
